da Scoperta truffa a Telecom ItaliaFrode informatica per 50 milioni Corriere della Sera .
Questa notizia è stata riportata anche da Audiocast:
[la truffa è stata organizzata da] organizzazioni camorristiche che, tramite l’utilizzo del personale addetto alle pulizie nella sede di Napoli, riuscivano ad entrare nei computers del call center ed a ricaricare abusivamente decine di migliaia di SIM che poi venivano utilizzate per chiamate ai numeri ad alta tariffazione (899 e simili), riconducibili alla malavita organizzata, che così ha intascato ben 50 milioni di euro More >
Deathwatch – Archiveteam
Apr 24th
The Deathwatch is meant to be a central indicator of websites and networks that are shutting down, or to serve as an indicator of what happened to particular sites that shut down quickly. New sites should be added in chronological order, newest death date first. Forward-looking death dates should be added to the first list only. Sites large enough to warrant additional information will receive a dedicated page, linked from here.
Nothing lasts for ever, also MS Encarta is going to die…it is a pity.

The destiny of MySQL?
Apr 21st
Slashdot underlines there are too much forks of MySQL on the way.
After leaving MySQL, Michael “Monty” Widenius started its own code fork, backed up with a company.
The nerds think the destiny of MySQL is unclear, but it is still too early to get a clear vision.
After acquisition of Sun by Oracle, it is difficult to see a future for MySQL. Oracle has already a “non-commercial” developer-based license of Oracle, and there will be little interest in maintaining a competitor. The two forks above was an early signs of “brains escape” from MySQL.
Anyway, we will go forward to see what will More >
Oracle to Acquire Sun: death or rebirth?
Apr 20th
We suggested this idea at the beginning of 2008, as a Joke. Now it is true:
Sun and Oracle today announced a definitive agreement for Oracle to acquire Sun for $9.50 per share in cash. The Sun Board of Directors has unanimously approved the transaction. It is anticipated to close this summer.
Oracle and IBM are face to face. It is hard to say what this could means.
Terremoto e burocrazia
Apr 18th
Il dirompente successo dell’ “Italia del fare”, tutte decisioni e niente discussioni del primo ministro On. Silvio Berlusconi richiede una riflessione profonda sulla politica prossima ventura in Italia.
Su Gioorgi.com abbiamo già iniziato ad analizzare la parabola che ha portato Silvio dalla semplice discesa in campo ad una stabile affermazione politica. In quell’articolo abbiamo anche evidenziato il modo tutto italiano di vivere il bene pubblico.
Indro Montanelli ha detto che il genio italico è tanto abile a gestire il proprio interesse personale, quanto miope a capire l’interesse pubblico.

Producing Open Source Software
Apr 17th
Some times ago I have the lucky to read “Producing Open Source Software“:
[...] a book about the human side of open source development. It describes how successful projects operate, the expectations of users and developers, and the culture of free software. The book is released under an open copyright: it is available in bookstores and from the publisher (O’Reilly Media), or you can browse or download it [...]
Valuable parts, which we suggest to read:
Open source is a value, especially here in Italy, where the small consulting firms have no time/ no hope of developing strong commercial reality.

All4Web
Apr 17th
Siamo lieti di dare risalto alla seguente iniziativa, chiamata All4Web, che si terrà l’8 maggio prossimo venturo:
All4web nasce dalla collaborazione di alcune community e user group del panorama italiano del web. Le community e gli user group sono i luoghi dove persone, con una passione e competenze sopra la media, si confrontano e trattano i più disparati argomenti in ambito IT e Design rendendo questi spazi, seppur virtuali, unici nel loro genere. Partendo da questa consapevolezza l’iniziativa vuole essere un momento dove raccogliere nello stesso luogo realtà diverse per trattare argomenti trasversali, multi disciplinari senza per questo precludersi la possibilità di affrontare argomenti More >

jrecordbind: fixed length file parser
Apr 16th
=== JRecordBind ===
A tiny and super fast library that aims to
* map fixed-length lines to bean instances, ready to be chewed by an import procedure (Unmarshaller)
* and export record beans into a fixed-length file (Marshaller).
take al look to it at jrecordbind: Home. It is a very good library, I will suggest for solve these issues, because it has XML integration too
